Again...absolutely stunning - wow, what a routine. Layton is bloody brilliant. He is phenomenal. He and Nikita are ridiculously good together. SENSATIONAL. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing
I love all three of the strictly finalists, and I'll be happy whoever wins. But tonight Layton's dances were my favourite by far. I love his Argentine tango its so slick and they look so good in those purple suits 😍 #StrictlyFinal
my winners since day one! they've brought it every single week without fail and made history with some of the best #strictly dances i've ever seen. they're inspiring, talented and iconic. they couldn't have partnered them up better! vote for layton and nikita to win😛
He's been my winner from day 1. One of the best dancers #Strictly has ever seen. Good luck @LaytonWilliams and Nikita. It's also been brilliant to see Nikita's performances this season. His partnering and choreography have been amazing.
Good luck to you both for the Strictly Come Dancing final tonight. You are going to smash it. Your are incredible dancers and I am so proud of you. Can't wait to watch you dance tonight ❤️😘xx 💃🕺 @LaytonWilliams @kuzmin__nikita @bbcstrictly
Leyton and Nikitas AT was my favourite dance of the series the first time and one of my favourite ever. Representation matters and not only was every step faultless and the choreo exceptional, but it had a beautiful intimacy. So wonderful to watch #StrictlyFinal #Strictly
On an aside, this has been the most extraordinary #Strictly finale. All the dancers brilliant and should go on to bright, wonderful things. No wonder all judges emotional - it is quite something to watch. I wish they could all win, but Layton and Nikita are just edging it for me.
I have absolutely loved watching @LaytonWilliams on Strictly. He's an amazing dancer but more than that he's shown us all what it means to be our authentic selves and I love him for showing my kids that. Thank you ❤️
#StrictlyFinal All finalists are brilliant and deserve to be in the final but Layton has that something extra that makes me feel I'm watching something extraordinary. Call it charisma, call it star quality, call it the strictly 2023 winner.
thank you @kuzmin__nikita and @LaytonWilliams for bringing so much joy to so many! 🩷 you might not have won the glitterball but you've inspired so many queer people to be who they are with confidence and pride and that's worth more than any trophy! #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing
No matter who's gonna win, just for the score of judges, Layton and Nikita are the real winners. Don't like the final decision being strictly by the audience, specially with crazy fans. #StrictlyFinal made the best final. It's all about commitment, passion, love for the dance
Layton & Nikita have had an incredible night. 3 spectacular #Strictly dances. Representation MATTERS. Layton, we see you - just gorgeous ❤️🔥
Voting for Layton & Nikita 💛 best dancers, lovely humans, and worthy winners 💛 #Strictly
When Layton done that, the first time. I thought it was awesome, watching that again it was amazing!! He should get 40 easy!!! 👏👏👏👏👏💃💃💃💃💃 Well done #Strictly
“i could not have had a better partner” “the whole thing with layton is just really special, i will cherish it forever” the friendship that layton & nikita have formed this season is actually so beautiful. they love and respect each other so much #Strictly #StrictlyFinal
Oooh I love a proper quickstep and that song was perfect 👌🏻 Layton isn't my favourite contestant but can't deny he's a great showman #Strictly #StrictlyFinal
Layton and Nikita🥹 They are just always such a engaging couple to watch. I think because they are both fiercely determined, both charismatic and both such strong, unique and soulful dancers and people. #Strictly really did make a perfect dancing match.
What an incredible night of representation..Strictly had Layton and Nikita dancing beautifully and showing that love is love..then Olly Alexander announcing he will represent The UK at Eurovision..then Cher… unreal 👏👏👏👌🙌🙏🙏
I love Strictly. @LaytonWilliams is such a beautiful dancer 😍 - what a brilliant final!
I thought Motsi was going to praise Nikita there for a minute - I think he deserves so much credit for letting Layton be so authentic. And for being so open and affectionate with him. It was a joy to watch their friendship. #Strictly
Felt that heavy breathing at the end. Sensational show dance Layton and Nikita. Have to agree that naturally, you two are not synchronised, you have to work at it, but it shows that you do and it was a fabulous watch. Loved it. #strictly #strictlycomedancing @bbcstrictly
I say this every week but I love how Nikita truly embraces everything that Layton stands for. Wardrobe put them in matching low cut tops and evening gloves and he's like Yass Queen 🙌🏻😂 A true ally 🫶🏻❤️ #strictly
Good dance from Layton, but I'd have loved to have seen his Charleston again. That was my favourite of his. Amazing dancer. 🙌🏻 #Strictly
Already voted for Layton and Nikita because they could frankly fall on the floor and cuddle and I'd want them to win. Won't happen but love them, only reason I'm watching post Krishnan (who was a joy) #strictly
#strictly loooved that from Nikita and Layton!! So entertaining 🤩 incredible
That was just on another planet — INSAAAANELY brilliant !! @LaytonWilliams SHOWDANCE= showstopper ! Not enough words to describe how great they were #Strictly HE DESERVES TO WIN!!!!!
Layton and Nikita won't win, but my favourite couple hasn't won since 2015 so I'm used to it. They'll always be the winners of this series in my heart though. And I truly hope they dance together again after the show/tour in some way. 🤞💕 #Strictly #TeamLakita
Absolutely stunning. No one has entertained me more this series than Layton - my winner. Sadly he won't win, but he totally deserves to. #Strictly
I give Layton and Nikita a 10! This was the definition of a Showdance! Pure perfection and we are so lucky to have witnessed this! Phenomenal. Simply phenomenal. #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly #StrictlyFinal #SCD @bbcstrictly
Layton and Nikita, I am in an emotional mess. Seeing them cry, made me cry and all of their dances tonight have been amazing and fabulous. @LaytonWilliams and @kuzmin__nikita thank you. Quick question, does anyone have any tissues that I can have please? #strictly #Lakita
My vote is going to this superstar @LaytonWilliams please vote for him he deserves all the success he's a SUPERSTAR 😍🙌 #strictly
There is no denying Layton is incredible! One of the best dancers to ever grace the #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing Dancefloor. Sadly I don't think he's got high enough public appeal to win.
Listen, I'm half a bottle of Prosecco down but I'm an emotional wreck. I can't tell you how much I love Strictly and dancing and everything about this show. Layton you're my winner ❤️ #strictly #StrictlyFinal
they won't win but layton & nikita were the best tonight and i'm so happy they get to go out on such a high. genuinely one of my favourite every strictly partnerships #Strictly
Possibly one of the most important votes in the history of #Strictly to determine whether it's a dancing, or a popularity, competition. Layton is, & has been the best dancer across the whole of the series &, all things being equal, *should* win But ... 😳😳😳 #StrictlyFinal
Brilliant choice to end with there for Layton! Ellie is still my winner but bravo!!! #Strictly #StrictlyFinal
sat watching this with a drink in hand knowing layton is just a superb performer and tattoo is a phenomenal song. cheers x #strictly #StrictlyFinal
Layton has had the most amazing affect on Nikita - a brilliant partnership. WINNERS #Strictly
Leyton! 😍 Don't think I've seen someone dance like him in the history of #Strictly . And yes he has some dance experience, but the improvement in his technique is phenomenal.
Honestly that Argentine Tango by Layton and Nikita makes me emotional every time. Beautiful and stunning. 👏🏼 #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing
Layton and Nikita saving their best dance until last! Sensational the first time , totally emotional the second time around 🔥😭 #strictly

Really who has the time to care that Layton has prior experience, how can anyone possibly watch that and not just feel the absolute JOY and PASSION emanating from every step?! Amazing. #Strictly

Motsi saying what so many think when it comes to Layton. He is an INCREDIBLE dancer and regardless of what people say he DOES deserve to win 🪩✨♥️ @LaytonWilliams @kuzmin__nikita 🪩✨♥️ #StrictlyFinal #strictly
layton being his authentic self on prime time tv every week without dulling his shine to appease has been so important. the amount of young people that have been able to look up to him and see that you will have people that love and support you no matter what #Strictly
